Frequently Asked Questions

What does Speed Dating mean for our SwirlySwirlDates members?

SwirlySwirlDates is an efficient and exciting way to meet singles. If you are tired of the party scene with limited intimacy or have exhausted all means of asking your friends to play matchmaker for you, SwirlySwirlDates is here to help you move a step closer to finding the right person. You will have countless opportunities to meet interesting individuals. There is a huge potential for meeting someone through Swirly Swirl Dates as we promote and encourage diversity among our members.

Our events take place at different lounges in NYC. A group of single males and females, who are within your age group, will get to chat with someone new every 6 minutes for up to an hour. Not only will you make a bunch of new friends by the end of the evening, you will also get to decide who you would like to get together with again. The people you have picked must also have chosen you in order for the contact information to be exchanged. Log onto your account 24 hours following the attended event and the contact information of your match(es) will be available for viewing.


Why us?

What makes SwirlySwirlDates different from other dating services is that we are stationed in the thriving city of the Big Apple. SwirlySwirlDates was founded by two open-minded NYC young professionals. We understand the difficulties of interacting with other races, even in this multi-cultural community. Fortunately, many young people are ready to step outside of the box and willing to explore more than their own culture, as is evident from the growing numbers of interracial couples.


Could this kind of event be successful?

YES! Some people can fall deeply in love with one another shortly after one date. It is all about having fun and meeting new people. Whether you are looking for a casual or a meaningful relationship, you will find plenty of people with different backgroundsand yet similar interests, at our events.


Which event is right for me?

We offer various types of events. Please check our "Events" page, on which is listed a description of all upcoming events. Don't wait, click on it and find one that interests you most.


Isn't six minutes a bit too short?

It is quality, not quantity. You may be surprised at how much you can figure about a person in six minutes. Your goal in the time given is not to choose a lifetime partner, but rather to decide whether or not you want to get to know a person further.


Will I get a match?

Most people usually get at least one match at an event. Please do not be discouraged or disappointed if you do not. More than likely you will have been chosen by the people whom you have not selected. It is all about the numbers. Please sign up for another event and try again. If you do not get a match, your next event will be 10% off.

After 24 hours of each event, you can log back onto your account and find out your match(es) from the attended event.


When do I get my results?

After 24 hours of each event, you can log back onto your account and find out your match(es) from the attended event.


What do I do once I have my match information?

If you are shy, you should take advantage of our message box feature and leave your match a note. If you are comfortable enough, you should send your match an email as contact information will be provided to you along with the results. By receiving your match's contact, you are a step closer to meeting him/her again.


Can I sue you for a bad relationship?

Answer is no. We do not pre-screen participants and we only bring you together to meet each other. We provide your match(es)' contact information to you; however, we are not responsible for actions that each participant takes.


What if I have to cancel?

We are more than willing to refund your registration fee when a 72-hour notice of cancellation is given. We are not able to give refunds on less than 72 hours notice. This policy allows us to ensure a good balance of participants at each event. However, if you learn that you cannot make the event in less than 72 hours, please do inform us and we will try our best to let you re-register for another event that suits your schedule.
